From keeping an eye on Russian research through scientific journals, from reports of colleagues who visited Russia, and from meeting their Russian opposite numbers at international scientific gatherings, U.S. scientists were well aware that Russia's scientific venture was accelerating fast...
...Peter was confronted by Granger as Gerald. But was Gerald genuine? Peter thought not, and for good reason: he had killed little Gerald by shoving him off a cliff. Gerald turned out to be a contrite fake, schooled in his masquerade by a conniving uncle (Vincent Price) with an eye on a hunk of the estate.

Samuel Eliot Morison does prove that things have changed; "young William (Hickling Prescott) had gone through Harvard College gaily and easily, but lost an eye as a result of a brawl in college commons." Morison, however, devotes a very interesting article to the unknown historian and his claims for recognition in the same fruitless way that Edwin W. Teale some pages before bids us preserve the bald eagle. Both articles, no matter how well done, seem...
